832. Sandals

Listen from:
Acts 12:8. The angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals.
The sandal consists of a wooden or leathern sole, which is fastened to the foot by thongs or latchets. The Bedawin of Mount Sinai wear Bandit’s made of “fish-skin,” or rather of the hide of a species of Dugong obtained from the Red Sea, near Sherm. See Palmer's Desert of the Exodus, p. 81. The leathern thongs which are used to keep the sandals on the feet are referred to in Mark 1:7 and in Luke 3:16.
